Just half a month after Xiaoyanglin's army withdrew to Qingshi Gorge, Yelu Dashi, who was sitting in Zhuozhou, and Yelu Zongyun, who was defending Yizhou, received information almost at the same time that 100,000 Jin soldiers were going south to attack Zhuoyi Erzhou to avenge the expulsion of Guo Yaoshi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yelu Dashi knew the power of 100,000 Jin soldiers, he didn't expect the Jin army to come so fast and fierce, and the only way now was to train soldiers and horses, strengthen the city defense, hoard grain and grass, and ask for help from the Liangshan army in Qingshi Gorge. As for whether the Liangshan army will come to reinforce him, then it can only be left to fate. Of course, he was also prepared for another hand, that is, to retreat westward, as long as his military horses could withdraw into the Song realm in the west, and then flee from Western Xia to further west, even if the Jin army wanted to chase it, it would not be easy.

In the early morning of this day, the weather was clear, when the eastern morning sun had just revealed the clouds, in the dawn that had just dawned, more than 10,000 black-clothed knights moved slowly to Cangzhou from afar from the horizon, led by a black-clothed general immediately on a small hillside, looking at Zhuozhou City from a distance, suddenly, in a moment, more than 10,000 knights disappeared, disappeared without a trace, only the black-clothed general was still standing there.

On the tower of Zhuozhou City, Yelu Dashi, Yelu Zonglei and Yelu Zonglin brothers had already discovered the Jin army outside the city, and they were all guessing the intentions of the Jin soldiers, and they didn't know what the Jin soldiers were going to do. They had never seen such a formation in their years of fighting. Suddenly, there was a faint whining horn sound in the four fields, and the sound was deep, low and passionate.

At this time, the Malay report was that the Jin soldiers were divided into three sides, east, west and north, and surrounded the city, and the Jin soldiers camped at the west gate. Yelu Dashi hurriedly led the brothers of Zonglei Zonglin to the west gate to see. He came to the West Gate Tower, looked at the past, and saw that the Jin soldiers were five or seven miles away from the city, and set up a tent. The drums in all directions were earth-shattering, and in the dust and mist, I saw the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom moving like a swarm of ants. The soldiers in the city, although they have undergone nearly a month of training, have seen such a formation, and they are afraid on all sides.

Yelu Dashi saw it in his eyes and said to the two brothers beside him: "Have you seen it, these soldiers are all afraid, and it seems that they must go out of the city to fight to boost the morale of the army." ”

Yelu Zonglei said: "Most of the golden soldiers are cavalry, and they are the best at field warfare, our army lacks war horses, how to fight in the field?" ”

"The Jin soldiers suddenly killed, there are many soldiers and horses, I definitely didn't expect our army to have the courage to fight in the field, I only took five hundred elite horsemen tonight, went out from the south gate, and killed him by surprise." Yelu Dashi thought for a while, and then said: "Zong Lin, you go with me, Zong Lei, you have to guard the city carefully, beware of the surprise attack of the golden soldiers." ”

Yelu Zonglei stood bent down, not daring to answer.

Yelu Dashi knew that Yelu Zonglei was timid, and said: "The Jin soldiers are strong, and they can't defend to the death, only by first frustrating the Jin soldiers' spirit, and then defending, is the best policy." ”

Yelu Zonglei said: "The director of the Jin Soldier is the cavalry, and he is still considering it. ”

Yelu Dashi was a little impatient and said, "Do you think I don't know? The defenders of the city have been taken over by the golden soldiers, if you don't go out of the city to fight, how can this city be defended! Moreover, when the Jin soldiers first arrived, the camp was not erected, and it was just a battle! ”

At dusk, Yelu Dashi selected 500 cavalry and lined up in the school field. Dressed in armor and carrying a broadsword, he rode a white horse to the front of the five hundred cavalrymen and said, "I think you are all heroes who stand up to the sky and the earth, and you must do something great." Today's golden soldiers are pressing the border, which is a good opportunity for us to do a great job. As the old saying goes: Take the head of the general in the million army, and today I will lead you to take the head of the general of the golden soldier, do you dare? ”

Cavalry, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to respond.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Yelu Dashi's heart couldn't help but be on fire, and he shouted loudly: "You all reach into the crotch of your pants and touch it, see if you still have eggs, none of them are fucking species!" When Yelu Dashi said this, he paused for a while and said, "I have five hundred bottles of wine and five hundred catties of beef here, and if there is a seed, come and get it!" ”

"If you want to die, you will die, please don't insult people!" A Khitan cavalryman turned over and dismounted, picked up a bottle of wine and drank it.

"Okay, you're still a fucking handle!" Yelu Dashi glanced at everyone: "Is there anything else with seeds?" ”

"Lao Tzu is also a man when he dies!" Another Khitan cavalryman took wine and meat.

There was another one, and in a short time five hundred horsemen came to receive the wine and meat. Yelu Dashi and Yelu Zonglin sat on the ground with five hundred cavalrymen, Yelu Dashi took a sip of wine, and said: "The big husband is shrouded in horse leather, that is the good end, now the golden dog is bullying us Han people, we are just exporting evil anger for the Han people in the world tonight, and let them let these golden dogs teach us the true colors of Han men!" ”

When all the troops heard this, they were all moved, and said in unison: "I am willing to die!" ”

Yelu Dashi did not say here that he insulted the Khitans but insulted the Han people, because now his army is mostly Han people, and then the Liao State often "played grass valleys" on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty, in fact, the Han people also hated the Khitans very much, and now he had to play the card of the Han people in order to unite and inspire the whole army.

Although Zhu Biao farmed in the south of the Yangtze River and was very busy with it, he did not relax his vigilance against the situation in the north. Just when Yelu Dashi led his hastily formed army to fight a battle with the Jin army in Zhuozhou, although there was a small victory in the early days, but later the news that Zhuozhou was surrounded by the Jin army spread to Jinling, Zhu Biao immediately summoned Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng, Lu Junyi and Zhu Wu to the privy envoy's mansion and held an important meeting overnight.

The meeting was held in a study room, where candles as thick as a child's arm were lit, Zhu Biao sat on a tiger-skin chair in the middle, and Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, and Zhu Wu sat on either side.

Zhu Biao rubbed his hands together and asked with a smile: "Three brothers, tell me, if the Jin army is driven south, can the Song court stop it?" ”

Gongsun Sheng asked rhetorically: "Does the owner of the village mean that the purpose of the Jin army's southward march this time is to destroy the Song court?" ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Does Mr. think that the Jin army sent 200,000 troops this time, divided into two routes, and made such a big move, just to teach a lesson to Yelu Dashi or to completely seize the sixteen states of Yanyun again?" ”

Lu Junyi said: "The Jin soldiers raised thousands of troops to destroy the Liao State, the combat power is strong, the Song Dynasty is afraid that it is not an opponent, if the Jin army drives straight down, the Song Dynasty will die, the Song Dynasty will die, and my Liangshan army and the Jin army will inevitably be a bloody battle." ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "Since the Jin army intends to destroy our Han people, why do you need to fight with it after the death of the Song Dynasty?" It is better to join forces with the Song Dynasty and work together to fight against gold. ”

Lu Junyi shook his head and said: "Mr. Gongsun's idea is good, but Song Tingjun is faint and mediocre, and the traitor is in power, will they join forces with us to fight against Jin?" If they just want to borrow the power of my Liangshan to survive, then wouldn't my Liangshan brother make a wedding dress for someone else? ”

Gongsun Sheng muttered in a low voice, as if he was telling his thoughts, and some seemed to be talking to himself: "It's not going in, it's not going back, so what should I do?" (To be continued.) )
